Slow progress but i learnt something today that i feel is worth writing up, storing connection strings in the app.config file.

As i beginner i've usually just hardcoded the connection straight into my class ( i create a sql class to group all my sql methods and handle opening and closing the connection etc). But this time i decided to look...

So like i said in the previous entry, starting pretty small and so i'm not going into detail here, the description in the code comments is pretty self explanatory, will say that i'm running this in MS SQL 2012, if anyone wants to follow along

Since this is 1) a learning project and 2) always invisaged as being a small database, i'm not going to bother with splitting it over multiple files or storing the log and mdf on seperate disks. The main reasons you would do this is to gain performance benifits and increased protection from a disaster...
